UN Climate Summit Reaches Deal for Radical Treaty by 2015

Following two weeks of theatrical United Nations “climate-change” negotiations[2] in Warsaw, Poland, almost 200 governments and dictators purporting to speak for humanity eventually inked a deal at the last moment.Vowing[3] to adopt a planetary treaty set to be finalized in 2015, the “climate dignitaries” pledged to give themselves and the UN more power and more money, all at humanity’s expense, to supposedly fight alleged global warming. They all dutifully celebrated their purported accomplishments, too.

Despite being outlandishly referred to as “pollution”[10] by the UN and its allies, CO2 is exhaled by humans and necessary for plant life. On top of that, human emissions of CO2 account for a mere fraction of one percent of all “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere — though there is no question that the ringleaders of the climate-alarmism machine have an outsized “carbon footprint” when compared with everyday people.

In the end, participants at the UN global-warming summit — power-hungry UN bureaucrats, bloated Western powers desperate for carbon taxes, and ruthless Third World dictators hoping for more “climate” loot — agreed to the basic “principles”[11] that will guide their 2015 “climate” treaty. Among the key components of the UN scheme will be the transfer of huge sums of wealth from Western taxpayers to Third World despots under the guise of “loss and damage,” one of the myriad largely meaningless terms tossed out at the UN summit to justify the extortion.

Hoping to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol with an even more radical global-warming regime, climate negotiators also agreed that the national governments and dictators they represent — all under UN guidance, of course — would have to accelerate their assaults on economic freedom and prosperity to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. Western governments will have to crack down the hardest, negotiators agreed, but even poor countries impoverished largely by corrupt and autocratic rulers will have to perpetuate the poverty as well. If the UN gets its way, CO2 emissions will eventually be rationed as part of a “carbon budget” for humanity[12].

On Saturday, the last day of the global-warming confab, a spokesman for UN boss Ban Ki-moon celebrated the outcome[13]. “The decisions adopted in Warsaw serve as an important stepping stone toward a universal legal agreement in 2015,” the spokesman said, referring to the date when the UN hopes to have its “climate” regime approved at a summit in Paris. “The Secretary-General welcomes the decision by Parties to intensify immediate actions to fight climate change and to come forward with their national contributions to the agreement well before its finalization in 2015.”

If the alarmists at the UN and its member governments get their way, the draconian “global-warming” treaty replacing Kyoto would go into effect by 2020. All of the “commitments” on CO2 reductions are supposed to be announced ahead of the Paris conference. Citing the UN’s debunked theories, however, Ban’s spokesman claimed “much more” must be done over the next two years to achieve “the ambitious agreement” that he claims is “necessary” to keep global temperatures from rising more than two degrees.

“To further increase global ambition and advance concrete climate action, the Secretary-General looks forward to hosting a Climate Summit in September 2014,” said the tax-funded mouthpiece for the planetary entity’s chief. According to the statement, the UN boss is also calling on “world leaders” — as well as business, finance, local government, and “civil society” bosses — to bring “bold announcements and actions” to the next global-warming summit.

In essence, when their regimes’ demand for $100 billion annually[2] from Western taxpayers to start with was not immediately accepted, negotiators representing more than 130 tin-horn autocrats and governments ruling poorer nations walked out[16] in a made-for-the-media charade. In the end, representatives purporting to speak for wealthier, freer nations capitulated, promising to hand over “increasing levels[17]” of the climate loot being demanded on the road to securing a global treaty.

The establishment media, of course, continued to cover for participants in the spectacle. For example, the press, as usual, deceptively referred to participants throughout the UN summit as “countries” — as if Zimbabwe’s Marxist regime of Robert Mugabe or the cruel self-styled god-man enslaving the people of North Korea or the mass-murdering genocidal maniac ruling Sudan or any number of ruthless autocrats whose minions attended the UN meeting could be characterized as “nations.”

Another key deception parroted by the media was the notion that human CO2 emissions contributed to the typhoon that recently struck the Philippines — an unscientific fraud that even the UN’s own discredited science rejected[18]. Critics of the UN summit, though, lambasted the deception and hysteria, making a mockery of what more than a few experts have called the “fraud” being perpetrated by governments and international bureaucrats.

“There’s a level of deep exploitation going on, and the UN is allowing this and media is feeding this, as if a UN treaty is going to prevent future super-typhoons from hitting,” noted[19] prominent climate skeptic Marc Morano, who runs Climate Depot and has been among the key players exposing the UN’s imploding theories. “This is supposed to be the modern age,” he continued during a press conference at the summit, ridiculing the notion that policy measures could change the climate as being akin to “medieval witchcraft.”

Still, even the wildly alarmist UN “Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change” acknowledged in its latest error-packed global warming report — promptly ridiculed by top scientists and experts worldwide[5] — that human CO2 emissions are almost certainly not responsible for cyclones. Top UN bosses apparently never bothered to read the entity’s own report, perhaps aware of its unscientific silliness. Instead, all of them harped on the latest typhoon as an allegedly compelling reason to further centralize power at the UN while accelerating the assault on prosperity worldwide.

With the UN’s climate theories increasingly becoming punch lines of jokes[5], however, analysts say[23] that the extremist establishment behind the global-warming treaty machinations has no plans to give up on its plot to foist a new agreement on the world. While experts say the U.S. Senate is unlikely to adopt any economy-destroying treaties at the moment, critics of the UN alarmism say the broader fight against bogus science[24] being used to implement tyranny must be stepped up if liberty and sanity are to prevail.
